Dresden Secession

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dresden Secession (after the Secession ) is the name given to several Dresden secession movements during the Weimar Republic . The Dresden Secession Group of 1919 around Otto Dix and Conrad Felixmüller is the best known of these groups. As early as 1893, the first secession was founded in Dresden with the Free Association of Dresden Artists and the subsequent Association of Dresden Artists . In the critical year 1989, the Saxon artist group attacked Dresden Secession 89 at its inception aware of the name again.

Free Association of Dresden Artists / Association of Visual Artists Dresden (Secession)

The Dresden Association of Visual Artists , also known as the Secession , emerged in 1894 from the Free Association of Dresden Artists founded a year earlier and was a Dresden artists' association around Carl Bantzer and Gotthardt Kuehl . Its members turned away from the traditional history painting of the time and devoted themselves to Impressionist open-air painting . The group was one of the earliest secessions: Earlier founding took place only in 1891 in Düsseldorf with the Free Association of Düsseldorf Artists and in 1892 in Munich with the Association of Munich Artists .

Dresden Secession Group 1919

The Dresdner Sezession Gruppe 1919 , also known as the Dresdner Sezession or Gruppe 1919 , was an expressionist group of artists around Otto Dix , Conrad Felixmüller , Wilhelm (Will) Heckrott , Constantin von Mitschke-Collande , Otto Schubert , Lasar Segall and Hugo Zehder . It is the best known of the Dresden secession movements. In 1922, the group disbanded due to political disagreements and different artistic views.

action

The artist group Aktion started in 1930 to "counter art reactionary endeavors". It was formed around Erich Fraaß , Ludwig Godenschweg , Otto Griebel , Eugen Hoffmann , Bernhard Kretzschmar , Max Lachnit , Wilhelm Lachnit , Karl Lüdecke , Wilhelm Rudolph , Ewald Schönberg and Fritz Tröger . The group had an oppositional character and can be attributed to the Dresden secession movements. The action went on in the New Dresden Secession in 1931.

New Dresden Secession 1931

The Neue Dresdner Sezession 1931 , also called Neue Dresdner Sezession , was a Dresden artist group around Pol Cassel , Bernhard Kretzschmar and Hermann Theodor Richter and formed in the spring of 1931 from several members of the action and other artists. Several members of the New Dresden Secession 1931 joined the Dresden Secession 1932 a year later .

Dresden Secession 1932

The Dresden Secession of 1932 was formed in 1932 at a time when the economic and political framework for artists had deteriorated significantly. The group stood for artistic freedom and independence and also campaigned for the interests of artists in terms of art politics. When it was founded, numerous members from other artist groups joined the Dresden Secession in 1932 : including members of the group of abstracts , the action , the ASSO Dresden , the New Dresden Secession 1931 , the group 1930 , the group of Dresden artists and the independent community .

Dresden Secession 89

The Dresdner Sezession 89 eV was founded in December 1989 by 23 female artists in order to take part in the social upheaval . The name of the first female artists' association in Dresden's art scene should consciously refer to the Dresden secessions, without pushing them into a “ feminist corner ”.
